For all nurses reading this, you are truly appreciated!! Thank you so much for what you do!

Give us a series of mother baby nursing!!

You mentioned your organization skills and your clipboard organization. I’m always looking for ways to make my shift easier. Do you think you could do a video on this?!

I’m a mother/baby nurse and I LOVE hearing what other nurses do that I may not do or haven’t done yet on the unit! Yessss for part 2! Better yet, mother/baby nurse series🎉

I loved being a mother baby nurse! It’s very routine but it’s not all sunshine, and can be very fast paced some days lol I got into mother baby straight out of nursing school too.

Omgggg it’s not even 2 minutes old and as soon as I got the notification I clicked. One more year till I graduate!!!! the main goal is to be a mommy baby travel nurse !!!!

Thanks so much for this insight! After switching from Med/surg to ICU, I was wondering what it might be like being a mother/baby nurse in a relatively “happier” specialty. But whew, it sounds like it can be alot of exactly what I was trying to get away from with Med/surg (tons of patients + tons of tasks = little time with my patients)

The moms at my hospital require a lot. Blood pressure monitoring and meds, insulin & sugar checks, IV antibiotics, blood transfusions, hemorrhorages, vaccines, and we have a lot of C-sections, so that comes with a lot of nausea & nausea meds. We also take care of late preterm babies, babies on IV antibiotics, babies with jaundice on phototherapy, babies with minor heart defects requiring echocardiograms, and we frequently have 8 patients and have gone up to 10 before. Oh, and providing lactation assistance, oh my. It takes so much time.

I work on M/B as a tech and it's definitely a completely different world from my previous Peds Trauma unit. I also like the ability to plan out your shift but it can get really crazy with admissions, tasks, oh and the families 😅😂 It's interesting how each M/B unit is different too. The techs on my unit do all of the baby tasks (vitals, PKUs, CCHDs, baths, TCB,etc...) and d/c foleys and help walk the C/S patients.

Fellow mother/baby nurse here and I have to say that keeping up with feedings is the hardest part for me...especially when all moms are breastfeeding and need help! My clipboard is full of self made notes with the requirements for SGA babies vs LGA or moms with limited prenatal care. It was so much to learn but I love it so much! Thanks for your videos!

I could never be an ED nurse, I need structure! Just about to start a new position in endoscopy...just hoping it isn't TOO much structure!! Love hearing about different nursing specialize, thank you!!

I prefer mother baby too cause you get used to the patients and it's so amazing interacting with them

Can you show us your brain sheet and how you stay organized ?

I couldn’t wait for u to upload! ❤️❤️

Girl, I loved that you touched on how you like knowing exactly what you’re day is going to look like so you can keep yourself organized. I am the SAME way! I’m a med Surg/ tele RN and one my fav things to to complete my daily tasks! I love crossing things off of my check list!

Planning on being a nurse and these videos help so much! Thank you! :)

Girl this was so informative, please do a Part 2 of this series!!! 🤍

This was so helpful, thank you !!! We need more of mother-baby!!

Thanks so much for all the info! I’m currently waiting on my preceptorship placement and hoping for mother/baby!! Your videos make me so excited for my future career as a mother/baby nurse 😊

Thank youu for making these videos because I’m in nursing school now & my goal is to be a labor & delivery nurse or a mother baby nurse .... & you inspire me so much to reach that goal 💕

Can you make a video about how you organize your shift/cluster care 🙆🏼‍♀️

Yes! This video is so spot on. I previously also worked in the pediatric emergency room (which I loved) and am now in mother/baby. I'm not sure what I was expecting coming to mother/baby, but now that I've been here a few months, it's not what I was expecting lol a lot of ppl think it's "easy nursing", they call it boring and where nurses come to retire, but you def have to learn how to manage your time effectively because IT IS a very busy unit. Very much task oriented and fast paced. We may not be high acuity patients like ER or med/surg / tele, but some mom's have their issues that make your shift overwhelming. But I also miss the ER, the excitement of it and starting IV's and all the skill sets you get to practice on a regular basis. It's nice to know there's other nurses to feel how and what I feel ❤

Could you make a video where you go over your report sheet and how you organize/cluster your care? Thank you and awesome video!!!!

can you do a video where you show us how you note take at work and organize your task? I love your videos. your such a mentor for me! Keep up the great work!

Please do a video on how you organize and prioritize tasks, etc. I am a new grad nurse, and i I would love to know how you organize your day 💓

Mother Baby travel nurse here! Great Q&A! I’ve been a MB nurse going on 4 years, and it is a great specialty!

hey!! could you do a video on what exactly you do as a pediatric nurse? is it very routine? What things do you have to do?

Yes please do a part two!

Former mother-baby nurse here! Started there as a new grad and transferred to pediatric ICU. Kind of the opposite from you lol. Everything you said is spot on! Mother-baby is a great field but in my opinion if you are not intending to stay in OB then it’s not the best place to start just because of the skills that you’re missing out on. Transferring to PICU made me realize this big time. But it is a very rewarding job and can definitely be busy at times, just a different type of busy!

Yes to everything you said. You definitely have to be organized and able to multitask in order to work MB (well nursing in general lol)

As a float nurse, I contracted to ER and mother baby at one point in my career. Mother baby is not as easy as I thought, I got worked...Lol! You essentially have to be on top of things. Although, it doesn't happen often but things can go wrong such as strokes in the mom. And breast feeding is awesome. Lactation consultants are the best too! Great video

Mother baby is my dream job thank you for this video .

I'm doing my nursing pre requisites this semester! I would love to be a postpartum nurse!

Love this! I've been looking forward to more mother baby videos

So happy my question got answered 🙌🏽thank you.

It also depends on a state and area. Some areas will not take new grads into specialties and require at least 1 year of med surg

Yes, part II please!

I love your videos thanks for sharing!! I apply to the nursing program next fall :)

We def. want a part 2!!

YESSS PART 2!!!

This is my goal after nursing school. I love the idea of working in the hospital setting. I love a task oriented day. I live one on one time with my patients. This seems like a good fit for me. I appreciate this video. Do you think those of us with associate degrees and get hired into this position? Thank you

I started as a mother baby nurse. And now I work as an Antepartum and sometimes we get PP overflow. I enjoy both but prefer Antepartum! I guess next will be L&D lol

Part 2 please!!!!!!!

Would love to see a video on how you stay organized at work! Thank you 😇

I cannot wait!! 😭😭

Would love to watch a series about breastfeeding and how it pertains to your field of work!! Great video thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

I’m a mother baby nurse and love it! Great video ❤️

Would love to see a part 2!!!

Great video as always and very informative and very helpful

Very informative thank you!

New graduate nurse here and so many people tell me don’t go straight into mother baby but that’s literally my dreaaaam and I want to stick with it that’s my passion you know?!

Yeah...you lose your skills if you don't use them...I was a critical care nurse and I'm now in mental health, I'm about to get a PRN so I don't lose all my skills...I've been a nurse for 14 years....love what I do....🤗❤

Happy New Years friend!

In my first year of nursing school and I’ve always wanted to do either LD or MB. Thank you for your tips and honesty!

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ASAP ON ORGANIZATION AND PRIORITIZATION AS A NURSE? HOW TO GET AND STAY ORGANIZED AND HOW TO ORGANIZE/PRIORITIZE THE CARE. PLEASE!!

can you do a video about how your organized clipboard in M-B for charting?

Im a new grad nurse in residency, I graduated in July. Mother/Baby is very overwhelming honestly. At my hospital the max is 5 couplets and it’s alot...I chose mother/baby because I want to stay in women’s. Although the max is 5 unfortunately its not uncommon...

Part 2 please! I'm still in nursing school but I am super interested in mother baby nursing, especially breastfeeding, I plan on getting certified after nursing school.

New PP nurse here! This video was so helpful. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ ps we would definitely love a part 2 & a breastfeeding video! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hello Love! I recently came across your channel and fell in love. I been binge watching you since I got into Nursing school which was like 2 weeks ago. I noticed you said that you did a bunch of practice questions when your were in nursing school and it really helped you out, so I was wondering where you got those practice questions, any book recommendations, sites etc? Thank you so much, would mean the world to me. If anybody has other suggestions let me know:)

Yes I love this video and I want to be a future mother baby nurse.

Hi! I have a few logistics questions.... What was the actual transition like from ER? Did you have to put in a 2 weeks notice in ER? When you were moving over to mother/baby, did you get a new offer letter and were you able to negotiate pay? Did you stay in the same hospital or move to a different one? Was the ER department pretty understanding that you wanted to change specialties?

Part 2 please. Great vid. I actually really didn't like Mother/Baby and was more for L&D but idk now after this vid. Let's chat some more 😁

Wow, a 1:6 ratio up to 8 most-Amazing. Here in NY, we get up to 5 couplets = 10 pts. The most I had was 11 with 1 being a NICU mom and I was dying lol. And we're a union state.... cannot wait for what Texas has for me as I will love to work in NICU one day. Can you make a video of how is life in Texas vs Florida nursing.

my OB rotation was also very slow🤱🩺

Love the video

Part two please!!!

Can anyone give tips guidance or just an insight on what you do for cluster care specifically. If you can write the steps that will greatly help me organize my brain

Make a part 2 ❤️

Please do another series !!!!!!

Definitely the feeds!! Hardest part lol

Taking my TEAS exam today! & I want to be a L&D nurse! Your videos are my favorite and they help so much! Thank you!! Also, I’m here for a part 2 AND a breastfeeding series😆

I’m starting my pre nursing classes in January and this definitely helped me swing more to the postpartum side of nursing. I was stuck between that and L&D

Hi! I’m about to go into nursing as soon as I graduate high school, I was wondering if you could make a video in the process, I’m still a little confused on how you get specialized in a certain area

Part 2 please!

As a mom who has breastfed 5 children and I'm only 31, I am sooo stoked about breastfeeding and I feel like I could teach a class about it lol! I love it, I'm still doing it with my youngest and I can't wait to share my experiences with my patients.

I work in wellbaby nursery, so I only take care of baby not mom and it is very routine. I did work in medsurg for 2 yrs before and sometimes miss the skills. However, I’m already itching to go somewhere else, my max is 2 yrs before I become “comfortable” and I don’t think I could do mother baby 😬.

Never stop posting

Part 2 pls ❤️

I love all your videos. I live in Houston and I have an interview for Mother/Baby I believe in the same hospital you work at. Can you give me any advice or tips on how to prepare for this interview? This is my dream job and I wanna get this position! Thank you.

Part two please

Hey I’m currently an L&D and MB nurse (it’s combined at my hospital) but I am thinking about switching to the ER. I’m nervous but ready for a change. Any tips?

Do you work with doulas often?

Where did you get your necklace from

I would love to start nursing as my carerr but something that yes it might be silly but it worries me, is the posibility of wearing medium length nails. I can see you have “long” nails in the video. Is it allowed in the workplace having medium long nails or at least, gel, acrylic nails?? I need you to enlight me on that topic

Can you show us your workout routine and what you eat in a day???? Plzzzzz YOUR BODY LOOKS BOMB😍😍😍

do you assist in surgery? Bcz i'm thinking about doing nursing but I'm not sure if I wanna be in surgery, I don't know maybe its just me

can you show me your report intake sheet?

Look into becoming a certified breastfeeding counselor. It's a helpful certification to go with being a mother baby nurse.

I'm an ER nurse and am 27 weeks into my first pregnancy. What can I do at the hospital postpartum to help my nurse? It sounds like keeping track of baby's pees/poops and how long I've been feeding babe would be helpful to my nurse's flow of care. Anything else you recommend?

Hello My favorite Nurse. Breast feeding also makes you loose your baby fat a lot faster. When I was breast feeding I could feel the contractions of my stomach trying to go back to normal. I was One of those moms in Mom and Baby that had enough milk for all those babies on my floor. My breast were bigger than the Blue Banana. I think that in my mind I thought that I was having twins , because of all the milk that I had 😊. Thank you so much for your advice. Love ❤️ 👍👌🤩

Do a breastfeeding series !!

Heyyy😭😅🙏🏻..sorry..another question❤..is it true that 3 months or so in nursing school is equivalent to a cna?..and you would be able to work on a hospital?..thank you🙏🏻❤

Nice video

Any tips of where i can get books for cheaper? Im starting my program the 11th & i have to work less so money is tight 😩

Do u think u have time and money to go travel out of the country ? My dream is to travel the world

Heyyy😊😊...I have a question..is it possible to work as a lpn in nursing school?..meaning would it be stressful..will it be possible to balance the school and work life while chasing your RN and working as a lpn?😂..yh that kind of stuff..please answer🙏🏻..thank you❤

Do you have any advice how I can study for my boards that I'm taking in 1 month? Please help I need a study plan
